I decided to do Pyramid Head for Otakon 08 and this Halloween.
What's the best material to use for the helm, any suggestions?

Movie Pyramid Head btw.

If you search back through this thread a bit you will see some of the best Silent Hill Cosplayers the US has to offer. A lot of them have details on how they made their costumes in their galleries. I believe Daguru and Orgato were the only people recently to post here that have cosplayed the movie version. Most people that post here regularly cosplay the game version.

Now with the movie being oooold Silent Hill cosplay seems to have died down a bit.

I was the only Silent Hill cosplayer at Animagic at the end of July (well except that 'Pyramid Head apprentice' girl without a Pyramid-helmet-thing). That was rather odd. Last year it was flooded with Silent Hill cosplayers.

Oh well, the galleries show that Pyramid Head is still going strong on American cons!

This was by far the coolest thing I've done at an Otakon or possibly ever.

Why is it that all the RE and SH cosplayers are in America. O.o God it sucks. -.- Still have no clue on who to do from an SH game yet, and it's quite annoying because it's like one of my favorite game series. Grrrr.. >.>

well, there sure are a few Silent Hill cosplayers in Canada too! Quita and Angelica for example! Bramarb is a big SH fan too and wants to do some SH cosplay, and Kaiser Wilhelm is a big fan of the series as well ^^

O.o I'll have to msg them sometime see if we go to the same cons. ^^ Thanks Alessa.

Okay I figured out who my favorite Silent Hill cosplayer is, it's Heather and I might end up crossdressing as Memory Of Alessa (Dark Heather) or just normal Heather. (I sorta wanna do Princess heart but im not sure XD) So that's the conclusion i've come too for my SH character, it's gonna be different for me as it will be my first crossplay.

Get your Alex Shepherd costumes started XD And I think the nurses look a LOT like the movie nurses. Like... the dress is cut the exact same way I believe. They aren't as veiny though (yet). I am excited for pics of the female character to be revealed Yay! Finally, new characters!!
